In regards to proposed…

In regards to proposed amendments to rebuilding Ontario Place act 2023, I am highly opposed to schedule 8 of the Protect Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act, 2025, which exempts every project tied to the Ontario Place redevelopment from Part II of the environmental Bill of Rights, 1993.
The environmental bill of rights specifically outlines “minimum levels of public participation that must be met before the government Ontario makes decisions on certain kinds of environmentally significant proposals for policies, regulations, and instruments”.
Schedule 8 will completely eliminate public participation, as well as eliminating informing the public about environmentally significant activities specifically with regard to Ontario Place.
This proposed amendment will only benefit private sector initiatives, and it is not in the public interest nor the interest of our environment.
I implore the government of Ontario to remove schedule 8 of the new Protect Ontario by Unleashing Our Economy Act, 2025
